Rain dampens hope of Stevenson win

Overnight leader Gordon Stevenson (St Andrews) dropped back to joint seventh in heavy rain at St Andrews for the second round of the Boyd Quaich international students' golf tournament.

Stevenson's fine 67 over the Old Course on Tuesday had given him the edge, but the excess water seemed to blunt it on day two.

He required 76 shots and his halfway tally of 143 saw him fall three shots behind the new leader, John Owens (Ulster), who sits two shots ahead of the field on 140.
